Back at work today after three weeks off sick. Finally started feeling like I had some energy yesterday. Thankfully not too much email and urgent bookkeeping required, and I got what needed to be done, done this morning.

I have been putting off doing some really important work for what feels like weeks, until it became both important and urgent. That always gets me going. (Probably only a couple of weeks in reality, one of which was a holiday). I completed it today and absolutely killed it. Hopefully. I won’t find out for another month.

Every time trying to file urgent documents online at Companies House. They say the will send a confirmation code by email, but it never arrives. You ask for another one, then both arrive after you’ve forgotten that you were waiting, and now you’re timed out and have to start all over again.

Just when you think things can’t get any worse. Not content with failing to pay salaries, CAF Bank have now processed a payment for £1,607.09 by transferring £16.007.09 to the payee.

Successful and fulfilling work “Vision Day” yesterday. Everyone brought their own ideas about what lunch should look like. My refried leftovers and pitta with hummus paled in comparison with the homemade salad bowls, tiger roll sandwiches, and a Tesco Meal Deal. One colleague brought homemade cupcakes, fruit and chocolate bars to share.

We have our work “Vision Day” tomorrow. Some last minute emails back and forth about what we might do for lunch. Agreement reached on “bring your own”. Still no “vision document” that we were promised. Wish me luck.

The CAF Bank saga just gets worse every day. Their new website is horribly broken in almost every possible way - user experience, functionality all significantly worse than before. I hope they can roll back to the old website. It was a little clunky, maybe, but it worked.

Yesterday I said something out loud that I thought might upset people. Instead they all laughed and cheered. “Finally, someone has said it!”

Oh, well the day just gets better! Our payroll service has been unable to collect funds from CAF Bank to pay salaries. What an absolute shitshow this has turned out to be.

I am “currently number 28 in the queue”. Which is better than the previous “we cannot answer your call” effort, I suppose.
